MIAMI (AP) -- Miami Heat guard Eddie Jones underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a shoulder injury that sidelined him for 15 games late in the season.

Doctors repaired Jones' labrum in an operation that lasted nearly two hours. His shoulder will be in a sling for two to three weeks, and he'll then begin rehabilitation. He's expected to be available for the preseason in October.
